Ticket FAQs

Important information This year ShowLink tickets won't be available to be purchased at Sydney Trains and NSW Trainlink stations or on Sydney Olympic Park Major Event Buses.

What is a ShowLink ticket?

A ShowLink ticket is an entry pass to the Sydney Royal Easter Show which includes return public transport on any day of the show. The ticket is valid for a single admission to the Show on any one day. There are two types of tickets for the Sydney Royal Easter Show:

1. A Print at Home ticket is ordered online and will be sent as an electronic file (PDF) to your email inbox. You must print the ticket on A4 paper from your own printer. There is no need to pre-select a date for Print At Home tickets, you can travel on any one day of the Show.

2. A ShowLink hardstock ticket is a physical ticket that will be posted to you.

Tickets can also be pre-purchased at participating Woolworths stores from Tuesday, 17 March 2015.

Definition of Adult, Child and Concession

1. An Adult ticket is for a person who does not meet the requirements for purchasing a child or concession ticket.
2. A Child ticket is for anyone 4 – 15 years of age and school pupils 16-18 years of age in possession of ROA School Pupil ID Cards (Form 202) or valid School Transport Pass (eg: State Rail School Rail Pass).
3. A Concession ticket is for any full time tertiary student in possession of a Student Identification Card, or any other valid concession, as stipulated here.
4. Children 3 and under are FREE and do not require a ticket.
5. Family is for 2 adults and 2 children

Where can I purchase my ShowLink tickets?

Online at www.eastershow.com.au, under the 'Get Tickets' section. You have two options for collection:

Select ‘Print at Home’ ticket type and print the ticket from your own printer. If you do not have a printer, you cannot purchase a Print at Home ticket.

What tickets do I need to bring with me?

If you have purchased multiple items online, such as ShowLink tickets or eVouchers (Carnival Ride eVouchers, Meal Deal eVouchers, Talk and Taste eVouchers, Tasting Plate eVouchers or Reserved Seating), please ensure to print and bring all of the pages with you, as each page represents an individual ticket. You will also need to retain your ShowLink ticket for your return journey on public transport.

Please note that your Print at Home tickets and eVouchers are a PDF document and will display a barcode on each ticket. The email itself is not a valid ticket.

Are my tickets transferable?

Print at Home tickets and regular ShowLink hard stock tickets can be purchased on behalf of someone else, and are transferable. The 2 Day Ticket is not transferable and must be used by the same person on both days of entry. eVouchers purchased online are also transferable. There are no refunds available on any tickets once purchased.

Remember to keep your ticket safe for your return journey home as a valid ticket is required when travelling on public transport.

Timetable information will be available from mid-March, visit transportnsw.info to plan your trip or call 131 500.

Travel from the International and Domestic Airports

A station access fee applies for travel to and from Domestic and International Airport stations. Your ShowLink ticket does not include the access fee, so if you're travelling from these stations you'll need to buy a GatePass.

How and where do I purchase Carnival Ride eVouchers and redeem Carnival Coupons?

Carnival Coupons can be purchased at Carnival Coupon Ticket Booths located throughout the Coca-Cola Carnival and the Kids’ Carnival areas. You can also pre-purchase Carnival Ride eVouchers online and redeem these by presenting your printed ticket with barcodes at selected ticket booths throughout the Coca-Cola Carnival and Kids Carnival areas.

How do I print my Print At Home ShowLink ticket/s or eVouchers

Your ticket purchase will include an email confirmation as a receipt of payment. It will also allow you to have access to your tickets.

Most Print-at-Home tickets purchased from the Ticketmaster website are set as Web Pickup. Rather than email you these tickets, Ticketmaster make these tickets available for you to download and print from any computer.

In this case you should receive a confirmation email, which contains a link to download your tickets. If you cannot access this email, you can find your order in your My Ticketmaster account. You will either need your email address and password, or your phone number and credit card number, to print your tickets.

All phone orders with Print-at-Home as the delivery method will be emailed to your inbox directly. Please leave one hour for this email to be received.
